00:00Trump appointed judge rules against the president.

00:03A federal judge appointed by President Donald Trump has ruled against the Trump administration

00:08in a case involving a late-night attempt to deport dozens of children on flights out of the country.

00:14Department of Homeland Security, Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin,

00:18called the order to keep the planes from taking off, disgusting and immoral.

00:22Trump appointed judge Timothy J. Kelly issued a preliminary injunction

00:26halting the federal government's plan to deport Guatemalan kids in the dead of night,

00:30finding that the Trump administration's actions likely breached federal immigration and human trafficking laws.

00:36About 70 children between 10 and 17 were awakened from U.S. shelters in September,

00:41where they were being held and bused to planes, Mediaite reported.

00:45Another judge, Sparkle Sukhnenen, a nominee of former President Joe Biden,

00:51granted an emergency order to stop the flights from taking off.

00:54Judge Kelly later expanded that order, putting the deportations on hold indefinitely.

01:00The children were in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services

01:03when they were roused from their beds in the middle of the night and driven to an airport,

01:08where some were loaded onto planes, Judge Timothy J. Kelly wrote.

01:12Another minor said he felt he'd lost his breath.

01:15White House immigration advisor Stephen Miller,

01:17who is also Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy,

01:21criticized Judge Sukhnenen for grounding the flights.

01:24In the dead of night, the Trump administration ripped vulnerable, frightened children from their beds

01:29and attempted to return them to danger in Guatemala, he said in a statement.
